Did Games Workshop quietly signal a major shift in strategy during the Autumn Preview Show 2026?
For years, we’ve been told there is a strict divide between the Specialist Design Studio and the Main Studio—keeping Warhammer: The Old World and Age of Sigmar ranges completely separate to avoid internal studio competition. But recent announcements might be telling a very different story.
From the new dual-logo packaging officially shared across Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40k, to the new dwarf releases that bridge the gap between classic fantasy aesthetics and modern AOS, the signs are piling up.
In this video, we break down:
• What the new dual-branded packaging actually means behind the scenes
• Why the Kazalite Mountain-holds blur the lines between systems
• How Daemons of Chaos, Flesh-eater Courts, and Soulblight Gravelords could make an official return to The Old World without breaking GW’s business model
• The potential for Armies of Infamy and Arcane Journals to rescue Legacy factions

00:40 - The Kazalite Holds & Bridging the Dwarf Ranges
01:30 - Breaking the "Studio Conflict" Narrative
03:06 - Dual-Logo Packaging: 40k & Horus Heresy Custodes

07:08 - Daemons of Chaos: The Easiest Cross-System Fit
08:08 - Flesh-eater Courts & Vampire Counts Kits
09:22 - Soulblight Gravelords: Skeletons, Zombies & Mortis Engine
10:27 - Parallel Kits & Armies of Infamy Potential
11:16 - The Real Reason Factions Became "Legacy"
12:15 - Dark Elves Rumors: Going Legends in June 2027
12:43 - AOS 5th Edition & The Lore Restructure
14:50 - The Timeline: When Will Legacy Factions Return? (2028 Prediction)
16:27 - Community Discussion & Outro
What do you think? Are we heading toward a future where cross-system kits and Legacy factions get official support in The Old World, or is this just a one-off packaging convenience? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

That is to say you won’t see models crossing from AoS and into tOW unless they have been completely taken out of AoS first.
What can happen is that SDS gets the greenlight to do their own models for the legacy factions.
Ottimo video, speriamo si smetta di litigare tra sistemi ma si festeggi la quantità incredibile di kit da cui possiamo attingere tutti quanti 😊
- games workshop gives it to people
Rage baiters and grievance influence YouTube types: "look look they brought us duardin, it must be that they are going back to ToW even as tow is failing!"
"Ok gw never said this but we had been told" .... So the INTERNET came up with a conspiracy that wasn't true. Ok gotcha.
